TY COBB SAYS HE'S GOING
TO RECOMMEND SUTHERLAND
Good Reports of Beaver Pitcher Likely to Land Him Chance to Show
Skill in Major League Circles.
BY L. IL GREGORY.
SHORTLY before Ty Cobb left Cali
fornia a week or so ago for his
home in Georgia, the Detroit
peach gave out an interview praising
the Pacific coast for its climate, its
baseball and its baseball players. To
ward the tail end of his talk he made
a statement that should Interest a
good many persons In Portland. Said
Cobb:
"I am going to recommend to Owner
Navin of Detroit a pitcher I have
never seen and I am going to do it
from simply looking up the dope on
him, and from what I hear ball play
ers, say about him. Sutherland of
Portland is the man. I have never
seen him in my life but I have been
watching his record and I notice that
mighty few runs are made off him,
that he is steady and that he finishes
a lot of games."
When waiter McCredie heard about
this yesterday, Walt fairly spat tacks
in his excitement.
'At last!" said he, with all the
Scotch emphasis Walt can command
when he wants to, "at last they are
beginning to realize what a Whale of
a pitcher this Sutherland is. Take
this from me, right here and right
now: Suds Sutherland this last season
was the best pitcher in the Pacific
coast league and I don't bar any of
the $15,000 beauties, either.
"How many times do you suppose
he was knocked out of the box in the
whole season?" continued Walt. "Well,
I'll tell you. He wasn't knocked out
once. Just consider that. The only
time Sutherland didn't finish a game
he started was in Sacramento one day
when I lifted him in the eighth inning
and I did it then only to put in a
pinch hitter.
"That boy is always working. If
they are six runs ahead of him in the
ninth inning he works as hard as if
the score was tied up. Loaf? He !
doesn't know what the word means. ;
When It Isn't his turn to pitch, does
he loll around on the bench and take
it easy? He does not. He goes out
and pitches to the batters for control.
He knows exactly what every man on
the Portland club can hit and what
he can't hit.
"In a ball game Sutherland uses his
head about twice as-much as .he uses
his arm. I'll bet if you asked him
right now what any batter in the
league did against his pitching, he
couia give it to you in exact per-
centage. He'll come to the bench
sometimes after an inning and say,
That fellow hit a high one outside.
He'll never get another one there
from me.' And that batter never will.
Once Sutherland finds out what they
like, they never get it again from
him.
"He has the control to pitch to
their weaknesses, too. He can have
two balls and no strikes on the bat
er and it doesn't bother him a bit.
The man at the plate knows Suther
land will never groove one over to
him.
"Some pitchers have more stuff than
Suds, but not many of them. He has
a peach of a slow ball, a dandy curve
ind a very fair fast one. And more
than that he has 'guts' nobody in
Daseball has more nerve than he has.
He would go up there to bat in the
pinch against the best pitcher that
ever lived and not be ecared in the
least. You can bet he would get his
old swing at the ball, and it would
be about 50-60 that he would connect
for a hit. That's the kind of nerve
he has.
"Some people call Sutherland a crab.
Nothing of the kind. He hates to
lose, that s alL 1 11 tell you some
thing else. He. hates to lose just as
much if he's not in the box as if he
is. He- can be sitting on the bench
with someone else pitching and if a
home player pulls a boner it simply
makes him sick. Mighty few pitchers
are that way. Suds Sutherland, in
other words. Is working for the ball
club all the time far more than he is
working for Suds Sutherland. He
thinks baseball and figures baseball
when he isn't playing. He's my type
of ballplayer exactly, and when I say
he is the beat pitcher 'n the league, I
mean cwery word of it- '
T haven't heard anything from
Navin about wanting Sutherland, but
Cobb's remarks show he has been
talking to ballplayers. Men who play
with and against Sutherland through
a season know how valuable he is,
and some of the players have been
tipping Cobb off to him, that's plain.
I would do anything for Sutherland
and wouldn't stand in his way if he
gets a chance to go up. There's no
doubt in my mind about his making
good. He would win more than half
his games with any good major league
club."
How-
President Klepper of the
Seattle
club came to sign up Bill
KeuworUyr aa toanasec Ja a little
story in itself. It will be remem
bered that Clyde Wares, who man
aged the team last year, wouldn't
return this season. Klepper wanted
to sign him but he put his price
so high as to be prohibitive.
The reason he did this is now out.
Wares and Kenworthy own a billiard
parlor, soft drink and sandwich
place in Hanford, Cal., that is simply
coining money. Wares was doing so
well there that he could afford to
pass up managing Seattle at a big
league salary.
When Walter McCredie finally
turned down Klepper's best offer,
the Seattle prexy went to southern
California to talk it over again with
Wares and try to convince him that
he ought to come back. Wares
couldn't see it, but he said to
Klepper that it would be a shame to
go outside the club for a manager
when so fine a fellow as his partner.
Bill Kenworthy, was available.
Kenworthy had played a wonderful
game for Seattle at second base, is
an old head at baseball and a wise
one, and Klepper became receptive
immediately. He and Kenworthy
talked it over with the result that
Kenworthy signed up at probably the
highest salary paid a minor league
leader.
.-.
The eastern critics are coming out
with ail-American football elevens,
on which the Pacific coast is about
as prominently represented as the
Germans are represented in the
league of nations. To the mind of
the eastern sports writer the Pacific
coast exists Just as Gaul existed to
the Romans of Caesar's day.
They regard Bill Steers, for ex
ample, as a sort of football Verclnge
torix. He's a fine, husky young
barbarian who'd be embarrasing to
meet on an empty stomach, and he
can play football all right, but when
it comes to Duttins- him on an all-
American team they simply can't see
his family connections. For all they
know Bill might be a bird who ate
soup through a straw.
One critic made an awful faux pas
the other day by actually putting
Muller of California at end on his I
all-American first team. None of the
other critics have asked him to tea
since, despite the fact that it was
all a terrible mistake. He had
Muller selected for the usual casual
mention on the third team, but some
rough-neck printer who had a friend
who knew a fellow who had a cousin
who lived on the Pacific coast
slipped Muller into the first lineup
for Bill Hart's sake.

bearing on the situation at Vernon,

them are involved in serious trouble,"
said Doyle.
"We shall not bar good, clean San
Francisco boxers from the Vernon

maker. "It is not our intention, how
ever, to permit the northern boys to

Do Battle Tonight.
BUNKER TO BOX BONDS
Battler in for Sorry Session II
Irishman Can Hit Him for He
Lands Stiff Blow.
BY DICK SHARP.
Youth and punch are a mighty fac
tor in boxing.
Tonight at the Milwaukie arena it
ill be youth and punch versus ex
perience and boxing ability aided and
abetted by ring generalship.
Boy McCormick, light-hefavywelght
champion of England, is filled with
the exuberance of youth and the pos
sessor of a knockout- wallop. The
fact that he is also a first-rate boxer
as well as a fighter makes him even
more formidable.
Battling Levinsky, up until three
months ago light-heavyweight cham
pion of the world, and a man who
has only received two setbacks in a
successful career of ten years in the
squared circle, will be McCormick s
opponent tonight at the Milwaukie
arena.
Levinsky Polished Boxer.
Levinsky is a polished boxer, a vet
eran of the ring, a far puncher and
ha3 always been accorded as having
more gray matter in his head than
the usual run of boxers. Should he
find it impossible to stem the battering-ram
' attack of his opponent it
will be the gray matter that will be
called upon to carry him through.
If McCormick can hit Levinsky, re
gardless of how good the easterner
is, he will be in for an exceedingly
sorry night as the Boy hits as hard
as any man in the world at his
weight. Were the two fighting on
an equal-weight footing McCormick
would have an excellent chance to
score a k. o. should he break down
Levinsky's defense. However, the
latter will have the best of the
weight anywhere from 10 to 20
pounds, which is a great handicap on
McCormick. Weight is another of
the main factors in a battle.
McCormick is a 100 per cent im
proved boxer over the man who
fought Frank Farmer, Bob Roper and
Tommy Gibbons at the Milwaukee
arena months ago. , Against Willie
Meehan he had little chance to show
his real worth. Meehan is as tough
as they make them and even Jack
Dempsey could not make a showing
with him, so what chance did Mc
Cormick have? At that the fighting
Irishman did more than the world's
champion by beating Meehan and
beating him in every round of the
ten. He made a punching bag out of
Phat Willie and that is all anyone
could do.
McCormick la Confident.
Against Levinsky McCormick's im
provement will have a chance to work
Itself out, and he can be depended
upon to fight every jnch of the way
and is supremely confident of a
victory.
The world loves a hitter and a man
who can take them. McCormick is a
dynamite puncher and can take them
with the best of the receivers if nec
essary. Levinsky worked out yesterday,
while McCormick took things easy.
The Boy has been training hard for
the match and is in wonderful condi
tion. Levinsky is carrying a few
extra pounds and thought that he
needed the work. He looked in ex
cellent physical condition after his
long trip and says that he has never
felt better.
Joe Bonds, the veteran Tacoma
heavyweight, arrived last
night
primed for his ten-round setto with
Harlan Bunker, the San Francisco
heavyweight. Bunker is the best
looking youngster in the heavyweight
ranks that has stepped in here in
many a moon and if he fights in the
Ting like he does in the gymnasium
the fans will see a real boxer in
action.
Bonds has been under trying fire
many times and survived them all.
Jack Dempsey, Carl Morris. Joe Cof
fey and down the line are all familiar
opponents for Bonds and although
not a spring chicken Joe says he will
be in the ring to do his best.
Frankie Murphy, the Denver wel
terweight, and Lloyd Madden of Se
attle will meet- In the six-round spe
cial event, which was originally
scheduled to be a ten-round affair.
Because of the short notice given
Gladden the distance was cut to six
rounds and another bout will be
added to the card.
.
The six-round added attraction will
be named definitely this afternoon.
Matchmaker Frank Kendall has three
or four excellent matches, any one of
which should be a good fight, and
he will pick one today. Al Nelson,
the Boise lightweight, who fought
Macario Flores a draw in Tacoma last
week, has been training daily and
may get a crack at Freddie Lough,
who has been working several weeks
getting ready for a comeback. Then
there is Mickey Dempsey, the young
featherweight, with three straight
knockouts, who i begging for a
chance to box. and may be put on
with Battling Purdy.
mm
Jess Taylor, the colored -light-heavyweight,
will box a dark horse
in the four-round curtain raiser.
